Pet Peeves

[hellfire]

I've worked with Chinese people for seven years between two different jobs. A grand bunch of lads.

[Caomhaoin]

When I worked part time in a chipper in college, the Chinese boys were significantly harder working than me or the other Irish lad. They didn't understand dossing at all.

[Eoin McLove]

And now they work there full time! But what about you and your slacker friend? I bet neither of you work there at all at all.

[hellfire]

I worked with them when I was working in hospitality years ago and IT more recently. They are pretty hard core when it comes to the job.

[Ollkiller]

The Chinese are indeed a great bunch of lads. They just haven't fathomed the art of packing the fucking shopping as its scanned.

[astfgyl]

I'm going to take your word for it and try get to know some of the local Chinese. I hear they're a great bunch of lads

[mickO)))]

I went out with a Chinese girl for 4 years the whole work ethic thing is to do with the type of Government they grow up with and how strict the majority of Chinese parents are the whole 'you got a B that is not is not good enough why didn't you get an A thing' so it is more out of fear of what will happen if they make a mistake or don't give 110%.

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah a student of mine with Chinese parents told me her parents paid her a quid to peel a hundred odd spuds.

[Eoin McLove]

A quid goes a long way in China.

[hellfire]

Cunts who play loud shit on their phone in public places.

[Caomhaoin]

The ones who do that on public transport deserve a sound thrashing.

[Born of Fire]

Playing loud shite music in public seems to be the national pastime in Chile. Whether that be on the metro or just some cunt strolling down the street with a mini Bluetooth speaker tied onto their bag. It also seems to be mandatory when driving to roll the windows down immediately and turn the volume up high as it can go for fear anyone on the street miss out on the latest autotuned reggaeton pile of bollocks.

[Caomhaoin]

Can't understand the making every cunt listen to your shite when you are in the car. Attention seeking I suppose.

Even if it was good you'd think 'fuck off ya fanny roll up the windows'.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

I'd put blasting the good shit with the windows down on a hot day in the "simple pleasures" thread, but there's two sides to it I suppose!

[open face surgery]

So we're all agreed on the Chinese then, are we? This must be a first.
